Sam says, talking about Wes
<<It's meaningless. He's doing a specific task assigned by a
company. The task is "build this program, in this language,
on this platform." He can't change the constraints on his own.
One of those constraints is to avoid GPL'd code.
And in the end, he *can't* incorporate GPL'd code into the
product because the company will fire him and strip it out
if he tries.
>>
Notice that I think this entire discussion is academic, and can in practice
be left moot. Wes has not given any indication of a specific example where
the fact that code is under the GPL has in fact been a problem to him. It
would be interesting to see this example, if indeed one exists.
